MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation Review

I don't mind admitting that I'm not really into MAC Cosmetics. They have a few gems that I will always re-purchase, but I don't go crazy like some do when they release new collections or limited edition products. However, after seeing a lot of positive talk about their new foundation, I thought I'll give it a go. Foundations are so hard to get right for me, as nothing is ever the correct shade or has the texture and finish I want. This one did make it pretty close to my dream foundation though, so I think it deserves a review.

The foundation comes in the typical black box. You can back 2 mac this product.

I love the packaging of this foundation. It's so sleek and simple. It's comes in a heavy clouded glass bottle, with a pipette/dropper. Ok for travel, if you're careful.

Price - £25.50 for 30ml

Texture - Thin, creamy

Finish - Even, natural-dewy, beautiful skin

Shade - NC15

Key claims

Blurs imperfections

What is it

This is a gorgeous foundation that offers a natural, flawless base, without being heavy or cakey. It's light texture glides over the skin, blurring pores, marks or dryness. You can get a sheer to medium buildable coverage. It looks great when applied with fingers or a brush. It has basically no scent. Suitable for all skin types.

How I use it

I take 1 drop and apply it to my whole face. Then if I want more coverage, I will take another small drop and layer it. I either use my fingers or Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. It applies smoothly over moisturiser and/or primer. It buffs in nicely, and a little goes a long way. My skin looks flawless, but still like skin, with a subtle glow. It lasts really well throughout the day, and I don't have to touch up.

Pros

- Light texture

- Smoothes over imperfections

- Works nicely into the skin

- Natural - dewy finish

- Colour matches well

- Gorgeous packaging

- Long lasting

Cons

- None

Summary

This is my new favourite foundation! No question about it. For me, it provides everything I need. It may even beat Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk. I think its perfect for all year round too, so it was smart of them to release it around Autumn/Winter, as it offers a dewy finish, without being too much. I might even dare to say I love this foundation. Please get down to your nearest MAC and try it for yourself! Thank you so much for reading.
